That also works, in theory.

Oh yeah, maybe it causes some sort of internal stress... I'm now vaguely reminded of a Prince Rupert's Drop. ..Not a King's Drop.

Well there goes that idea

Refresh my memory, did he have Nightblood partly unsheathed? That does seem to enhance physical attributes, which would give him the strength to hurl them against the wall hard enough... maybe.

It's not going to, until Bridge 4 (the people) petition Dalinar/Navani to mess with connection and MAKE it have a spren. (I know that's not really gonna happen BUT CMON IT WOULD BE SWEET. Make it a superspren like the Oathgate Spren)

Well depending on the outcome of SA 5, you might be more correct than you think MB E2 Spoilers

Iirc Odium needed to use the Thrill on Sadeas' army to get them to bond with voidspren since it requires a particular mindset.

I am curious if it could interact with the conjoiner/reverser spren in the Fourth Bridge... "how's work" "*flamespren noises*"

This is kinda funny now that we know Rlainarin is a thing...

Plot twist: this is why Kelsier wants off-world.

Hmmmmmmmmm...

Yup. This would effectively double the powers an Allomancer could access, giving them a second effect for every metal they can burn.

Nice.

That line really hits different now, doesn't it...

I thought it was supposed to be Stygian Violet, basically what you see if you stare at (checks notes) green on white for a minute or so, then stare at a black background. The afterimage of the lack of lime green on black will appear to be simultaneously violet and black, which is physically impossible. Wait, you need to stare at green? Huh.

Or Truthwatchers, surely? To seek out greater truth and knowledge in the Cosmere? To boldly go where no Rosharan has gone before?

Maybe instead of a comparison to antimatter, we could try making a comparison with Super-symmetry? I know it might seem a bit out of place, but the base concept of it (to my understanding) is the idea that all of the fundamental particles we know of have a "super-symmetric" partner, which tends to be more massive, and instead of having an inverse charge and all that, a super-symmetric boson (force-transmitting particles like the photon) would be a fermion (like quarks and electrons). So maybe Preservation and Ruin are super-symmetric Intents, or something evocative of the same concept. EDIT: went and double-checked on Wikipedia: the key difference between a particle and its supersymmetric counterpart is the addition of a half-integer spin, which swaps the particle between being a Fermion or a Boson (bosons all have whole-integer spins, Fermions have half-integer spins). So maybe Ruin has a "half-integer spin" compared to Preservation, but is otherwise virtually identical? Or maybe Ruin is the Anti-Supersymmetric version of Preservation?? EDIT 2: Also, to offer my 2 clips on what a supersymmetric Intent would be in terms of realmatics, it could be related to something like Light polarization. Adding a "half spin" (i know in particle physics it's not actual rotation) to Intent might make the "wave" become perpendicular to the norm, which would probably do all kinds of weird stuff. As for how you'd even add/subtract "half spin" to/from an Intent, I dunno. Maybe it's as simple as Intending to make it the Supersymmetric Tone instead of the Anti Tone or Pure tone.

Aw, spoilers! But yeah, it is...

I don't remember if they even need the first ideal... It would probably help though (and with a Bondsmith I do wonder if they could strengthen their Squire bond to improve the power level of their squires as if increasing in power from an Ideal)

Time to get rickrolled by translating this. EDIT: Oh nevermind it's actually kind of funny.

Wow... Reminds me of the Crystal Heart of Volurians (my own, work-in-progress Silicon-based life forms concept). (it's a crystal that's quantum-entangled between every Volurian, so by writing/reading information to/from it to change the quantum states (a process that Volurians can do consciously because of their biology), they can communicate information with each other while still retaining individuality, like a half-hivemind.)

This worries me. Ruin and Preservation created Scadrial out of nothing but their own investiture, based on the non-fainlife parts of Yolen. ...That means all of the matter on Scadrial is technically part of Preservation and Ruin's power... So you could blow up the planet using anti-tones?? Seems a bit extreme... Certainly it sounds like you could hurt Scadrians using Preservation's anti-tone if it was loud enough (...which is technically true for any sound, but you know what I mean. You could repel/negate the extra bit of Preservation inside a Scadrian that gives them sentience if you had an anti-tone strong enough.) ...Also, could you wipe/destroy the charge of a Spike with anti-tones?

Yeah, but that doesn't mean the ENTIRE population of Roshar valid for Radiance is going to be that way. ...Which honestly sounds more interesting than all of Roshar just being this way.

Life before Death, obviously! Of course I'm going to root for the people who literally have a good moral code built into their magic system! ...Of course the bigger question is "has that remained true up to that point in time"...

And also, wait, if this is the case, would the non-inverted suppression fabrial not stop Progression-fused?? obvs there are no Adhesion fused, but...
